So much to be thankful for!

  

Homeschooled or not, we educate around the clock- not just at desk work time!

As the month quickly rolled by, so did our days of school.  Each day seemed to zoom right on to the next.  Most of our days lately seem to be packed tight!  They are busy and well, just full.  Then this week came; there seemed to be so much to do... yet I changed the priority list.  I am so thankful for family that knows how my house has looked.  I have a confession.... shhhh ;)  When we had one child you could lick the floors, maybe even toilet (I'm not promoting or saying its healthy)  but our home was that clean.  We moved up from the south (sniff.. sniff) and I just didn't want any more than we needed.  Boxes seemed to sit unpacked and I thought what a waste!  As more children came the home seemed less important to be "spotless".   Needless to say our home is clean, but not "hotel- like" anymore.  With a busy home and busy school days, the chores get done. ;)  Well this last month we've been doing school on Saturdays too when my hubby works. 


!Popeye Snowball Thrower!

   On Monday my hubby called and suggested taking the week off!  All the kids, but one said yay!  Needless to say, it has been a great week!  We relaxed, baked cookies, (3 kinds so far), played in the snow, played in the hay, made forts, they had a pj get comfortable & read day, and just lots of plain old had fun!  Oh, I missed that!  My kids are so sweet and special!  Please do not get me wrong, I miss working with great people and investing in other peoples lives.  Yet, the Lord has a different work for me right now.  The best investment I can make is in them!  What a blessing to be a mommy.  I love it so much and I get to see them enjoy life with their siblings! 



Friends for life includes brothers ;)

 

As most of you are family and friends, I would like to ask you to pray for our family and all that God has in store for our future!  We love you and covet your prayers. Thank you!

 

We ALL like the kitchen sweets and treats!
